Drive modes

The drive modes change the driving dynamics of your vehicle and which settings are available.

The different drive modes available in your vehicle are all suitable for different scenarios and types of driving. Depending on which drive mode you select, certain driving dynamics may be affected, such as steering, suspension, braking, and acceleration. Your estimated range is also affected. Different drive modes allow for different adjustable settings related to both driving and climate.

Drive mode indication in the instrument panel
Your selected drive mode is shown above the selected gear in the instrument panel.

Your vehicle has two drive modes:

StandardThis is the default mode and is recommended for everyday use. It's also selected automatically every time you start the vehicle.
Off-roadOff-road mode is suitable for when you're driving on rough terrain or on roads with limited accessibility. It also activates hill descent control, allowing your vehicle to brake in a more controlled and active way when driving downhill.

 Note

Off-road

The off-road mode is only available at speeds below 40 km/h (25 mph). Driving at higher speeds automatically disables the off-road mode. If this happens while driving on a steep downhill gradient, the automatic braking effect from hill descent control will gradually decrease.

The off-road mode is not designed to be used on public roads.
